London's finest...

Now, I may be a little bias (self confessed die hard fan) but can these girls do any wrong?? Inky pallette and super sexy sillouetes, make for another big seasonal thumbs up from moi...
Wearable, effortlessly cool and at the top of my winter wishlist...J W Anderson. Leather, wool, florals and fur, oh and throw in a pair of silly shoes for good measure.
Want an office makeover but don't know where to start?? Time to feast your eyes on Mr Saunders. Make his fail safe formula your one stop shop for bold, beautiful and wearable work wear.
Who would have thought your nanna's knitting could be so god damm sexy??well, he did.Mark Fast, not just your average knitting nerd...but a true british gem.
May not be everyones cup of darjeeling, but those boxy jackets and sequined tartan make me feel fuzzy.Little scared?? tone down the trend by teaming with denim...and maybe leave the cobwebs on the shelf.

NYC Fall 2011....the best bits

Fur, leather and seriously sleek silhouettes,they've firmly made they're mark.Mary Kate and Ashley...you clever little buggers.

No jewellery, no accessories, just Vera at her best. Pleated chiffon mixed with just the right amount of leather and luxe

Cool, effortless and chic. 3 words I'd use to sum up Proenza. Although their print on print designs and ballsy attitude this season may not be to everyones tastes, it will certainly brighten up those dull winter days. Watch this space...
Oh Wang, Wang, Wang. Soft tailoring in blacks and nudes.Dress him up or play her down, either way...its beautiful.

He is what he is...an amazing designer.Red carpet dresses at the ready. Lets count how many times we see these 3 lovelies this season. starting...NOW

Forgive me....







As I sat down at my laptop with a cup of tea, I prepared myself (and my house mates) for the all out rant that was undoubtedly about to occur after watching the latest A/W '11 Marc Jacobs show....

I stand corrected.

Marc, please forgive me. I salute you.
